I wrote previously 8 Things I Know about Michael Phelps.
There's a lot more to know.
-Michael Phelps is going to be competing in the Olympics in 8 events.
-There is an Olympic Medal count record set by a guy named Mark Spitz in 1972. Spitz won 7 Gold medals and set world records in all 7 of them.
-Well, the days have changed. With increasing technology in swim suits and swimming pools, people are now specializing in events; it is very common for swimmers to swim just one event in the Olympics. Spitz in '72 did not even have a cap or goggles on.
-Spitz had also set that record when US was dominating that era in swimming. It was not too difficult for US to win the relays where as now all the countries are very competitive.
-Spitz won two distances in 2 strokes, and all the relays. Well, Phelps is doing two individual medleys, and also two distances of butterfly, and 200 freestyle, and also the sprint 100 freestyle for the relay. Phelps is also less than half of a second close to both distances of backstroke world records (which he is not swimming at the Olympics). He is good at all strokes.
-all I want to say here is Phelps is the greatest swimmer who has ever lived - hands down. Good at all strokes and distances. But he doesn’t have the record of 7 golds in one Olympics (6 gold at the '04 Olympics) and/or hold 7 World records at once (currently 6 world records). I think he is the best regardless but people still argue.
-I really want to see him win 8 golds. Don’t you?
to be sure...she'll want to know these 20 Facts about the Great Wall of China.

I have heard a lot about Michael but I was unaware that he was so close to the world record of gold medals in one olympics! I am sad he didn't make it farther, and I would love to see him get 8 gold medals. It always makes me happy when the U.S. does well in the olympics.
